P2 Installer, where is my executable [message #133990]

Hello

I tried out the following example:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/P2_Install_Example

After I generated the product and launched the p2 installer, all I get in
my installation directory is the structure below:

p2
plugins
artifacts.xml

Shouldn't I get an "exe" file named after the name defined in the product
file?
In my "real" application I get the same result even though the product is
based on features. No features directory is created.
Did I miss something?

I appreciate any help!

Hello

After reading http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Installer again, I
noticed the following in the "Non-working Example" section.

"You can use an installer.properties file to fetch plugins into the
p2.touchpoint.eclipse folder, but you cannot then install those plugins
unless they contain a Product (that is, they include a eclipse
executable)."

Does this mean I have to include the eclipse.exe in the my rootId plug-in?
Or what exactly do I have to do so my installation contains the exe?

Hello

Does anybody know what I need to checkout from CVS to get an example on
how eclipse does the whole installer magic? With magic I mean having a
eclipse.exe and features directory in the install directory.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Installer

eclipse.p2.rootId=org.eclipse.sdk.ide

If I checkout org.eclipse.sdk I can see that there is an product called
"ide", but no product file or any p2.ini or anything that would make a big
difference to my project.

thanks for any hint
